It's been a while since I was genuinely excited for a movie like this.

The reviews are out:

Looks like they got the violence/fatalities right this time and are faithful enough to the source material to do it justice. There's some changes but small enough to not really matter.

I have yet to see it myself, but I suspect I'm going to enjoy it a lot.


And here's the trailer if someone hasn't seen it yet.

 

It looks pretty terrible but in quite a watchable way. I'll go into with no expectations, or possibly even negative expectations, so the worst that can happen is that it lives down to those. Hopefully it manages to exceed them.

 

I'm sorry, I've seen that trailer a few times and I am hyped until I hear Scorpion say 'get over here.' Really? Really? For such a famous line that has got to be the shittest delivery of it I have heard.

Will still watch it and probably love it.

 

I watched this over the weekend. It was as terrible as I expected but I enjoyed it. Kano was surprisingly the best part of the movie, the fatalities were fun to watch.
